Planning a party? A wedding? A quinceañera? You want to make sure it’s a banger from start to finish, right? And nothing keeps the energy up and the dance floor packed quite like the right DJ. But hold on – not just any DJ will do. You need someone who’s going to read the room, handle all those technical things, and, most importantly, keep your family, friends, and that one dancing uncle hyped all night.
So, what questions should you ask before booking a DJ for your big event? I got you. Let’s break it down:
1. What Kind of Experience Do You Have?
This question is key! Not all DJs are the same – a DJ who’s amazing in the club might not be what you need for a wedding or a corporate event. You need someone who knows the vibe of your type of event. Ask them, "Have you done weddings, quinceañeras, or corporate parties?"
The pros will have stories for days and can tell you exactly how they keep each type of crowd entertained. You want someone who knows the right moves, from the salsa-loving tías to your buddies who are all about that reggaetón. The goal is to have everyone dancing – from abuela to your best friend – and an experienced DJ will know how to make that happen.
2. How Do You Customize Your Playlist?
The last thing you want is some cookie-cutter playlist that doesn’t feel like your party. Ask your DJ, "How do you make the playlist unique to our event?"
A top DJ will be able to blend traditional Latin hits with modern jams, English with Spanish, and keep everyone from your little cousins to your grandparents on the dance floor. And trust me, you want someone who’s taking notes and can incorporate your must-plays – like, yes, we need that Bad Bunny banger right after Juan Luis Guerra!
3. Can You Provide Client Testimonials or Videos?
It’s 2023, people – don’t book a DJ without checking the reviews! Ask them, "Do you have any testimonials or videos from past events?"
A great DJ will have a solid collection of testimonials and maybe even a video or two that showcases their skills. Reading the crowd, getting the energy up, and keeping things flowing seamlessly – this is all stuff you can see in a reel or hear about from past clients. And don’t be shy! Check out their social media, ask about reviews on Google or Facebook, or see if they have any videos to share from events similar to yours.
4. What Equipment and Backup Plans Do You Have?
Look, things happen. Sound systems can fail, microphones can glitch, but a pro DJ will have it all under control. Ask, "What equipment do you use, and do you have backups ready?"
Top DJs invest in top-quality sound and lighting, and they know how to make sure the party doesn’t stop if there’s a hiccup. Plus, if they’re showing up with backup equipment, it’s a good sign they’re serious about your event going smoothly. Because nobody wants to be in the middle of the father-daughter dance and have the music cut out!
5. How Do You Engage with the Crowd?
It’s not just about hitting play – the best DJs are masters of ceremony, crowd-readers, and sometimes even part-time hype people! Ask, "How do you interact with the crowd?"
A DJ who can work the mic, knows when to jump in and get everyone hyped, and can even switch smoothly between English and Spanish is a total game-changer. Your DJ should know how to get the room buzzing, whether it’s encouraging that first slow dance, leading a singalong, or keeping everyone moving with the latest salsa hit.
